Sleep Apnea has been a growing concern today and a lot of people are trying to find ways around it. Indeed, sleep problems are becoming serious and unlike before when making up for lost sleep was an ideal solution, it has all the more gotten worst.

Such has been the call for sleep solutions that have to cater to these growing pains. Sleep apnea is something that should be brought to the attention of sleep specialists and with the efforts of Covidien, bringing together the physicians, patients and the necessary equipment and resources can hopefully address and resolve these sleep disorder issues growing rampant today.

Covidien created the “Unite to Treat Sleep Apnea” initiative in response to the increased demand for sleep apnea treatment. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately 12 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, and an additional 10 million remain undiagnosed.

“Undiagnosed and untreated sleep apnea is an urgent issue, as it reduces productivity and shortens life spans. This partnership is designed to help keep drivers in the transportation industry safe by increasing the availability of diagnostic and therapeutic resources,” said Scott Drake, President, Respiratory and Monitoring Solutions, Covidien. “Initiatives like ‘Unite to Treat Sleep Apnea’ are valuable because they further the diagnosis, treatment and compliance of this life-threatening disease.”
